Is that really so? Do you agree with that?

...Who feels happy? Rich? People who have achieved what they want? Many people around us believe that things make people happy. But we really choose to be happy or not. Have you ever watched a hypnotist work? He chooses one of the spectators, puts him to sleep with the power of hypnosis and gives him an onion. Then he describes the onion as a wonderful fruit that has not yet been tasted. A person under the influence of hypnosis eats onions with great appetite. Very well ripened, beautiful peaches are described as raw and bitter peaches. As a result, a person who sleeps under the influence of hypnosis does not want to bend his face and bend it.

You know, we have a negative attitude towards everything in our lives, and it is these negative attitudes that prevent us from being happy. People often say that if you don't think about evil, there will be no good. Many would think so. They expect good from life and then expect evil first so as not to fall into severe depression. They are not surprised when something bad happens, but it does not make them happy. The idea that you should expect something bad from life is a mistake.

A young man went to see a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist told him to list the brown things in the room. The young man enumerated many things. Then the psychiatrist closed his eyes and asked him to list the green things. The young man said he had not seen any of them. Do you understand? We see what we want to see in life. However, in the psychiatrist's room there were a lot of green objects.

The young man did not see them either because he did not want to see them. It is the same in life. Because we expect and think bad things in life, those things are more noticeable to us. As a result, we do not see the good in him. We count ourselves unhappy, not seeing the good that comes with the bad in our lives.

Contrary to everyone’s beliefs, from the outside, money, cars, equipment, fame, and luck are all irrelevant. Happiness is determined by our attitude to life. So we don't have to have a lot of money, a big house, or a better job to be happy. The most important thing is to change our attitude. It is this same author who wrote the following words: “The basis of contentment must be in the mind; He who knows little about human nature in the pursuit of happiness, who wants to change everything except his own character, will waste his life on senseless actions and will only gain the sorrows he wants to get rid of"...
